"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Bracing for the heat

Hello Friends,

Dull, hazy skies over Dee Why this morning. The furnace hasn’t started quite yet, but the carpark behind the Dee Why SLSC is starting to fill up in anticipation.

There were a few bods bobbing about in the beachy, but there’s no sign of waves as such. The reason for the microness is plain when you look at the current data from the MHL Sydney buoy; it’s showing only a metre of 7sec period windswell. I guess that’s good for the crowds of occasional beach visitors who’ll be flocking to the seaside as the temp ramps up.

Surf outlook for the next week is pretty marginal. Looks like the best hope will be for some junky onshore south windswell tomorrow morning. After that, it seems as if we’re in for a run of knee to waist high dribble.

Hope I’m proven completely wrong!

Go well with your Sunday!
